ThyssenKrupp Elevator has more than 33,000 employees distributed globally with local IT departments operating their own on-premises email environments. This meant the subsidiary had 18 separate Source environments from which it needed to migrate mailboxes to Office 365. Overhead for the local installation of a migration tool in each environment would have greatly increased project costs, which led Orange Networks to look for a SaaS-based solution with no on-prem hardware or installations needed. In addition, the complexity of migrating a subsidiary with this many individual Exchange instances in separate countries meant Orange Networks spent a significant amount of time consulting with and planning for the migration. This included performing trial migrations to test data transfer speeds, understanding how local firewalls interacted with the migration solution, and planning for technical support throughout the duration of the project.
